Got this at a gas station in Crystal Lake, IL. in the late 90's.
I've had this disc for a number of years. But finally decided to catalog my bag. I probably found the disc, and it had no markings to speak-of. This was before the days where they had lost & found drop-offs.
This disc is marked "2010 PHILLY OPEN" The symbol looks a little like the Lattitude logo, but not quite. (Not sure Lattitude existed back then?!) I guess it could be John-Doe off brand that they awarded to the winner(s), or maybe they just gave them out to every participant. But either option seems odd since, it wouldn't be PDGA approved that way. I suppose the markings on what disc its really supposed to be could have just been rubbed off. The under-side says it was resold and/or sold for $7.99 at a shop. No helpful info on that side to speak-of, except I think the weight.
It feels like a high-speed distance driver, with a thick lip. But I actually have not thrown it much. So it remains mysterious. I probably should have given it more attention.
Post the under side and a profile picture if you canopcorn:
Here's the underside. So I was wrong, if I want the weight, I'm going to have to figure out myself. It was sold as a used-disc somewhere.
Nuke (no). Tempest (closer), but the rim is too curved. I can't find too many pictures of the under-side rim of the Hurricane: But where I can, it appears to be the same issue: https://infinitediscs.com/DGA-Hurricane/Pro-Line Not smooth like the disc I have. The hurricane has a ridge. The Tempest is curved. I mentioned the 'Tempest' because I saw your edit.
On the other-hand, the swirls could be interpreted as little hurricanes. (that is what is visible on the front-side of the disc.) I just question whether the underside has the same hold-pattern. But of course in my google-searches there a few different types of 'hurricane' models.
Yes, that's it that's the right logo. Why did he choose LDS? Sound's like Mormon events to me. LOL.
Regardless, the copyright for the page goes to 2011, my disc is from 2010. So it's more likely an Innova-Driver disc according to the sponorship.
I was actually talking to the 'Lifetime Sports' guy on his facebook. He said, he doesn't remember if that year was a 'Discraft' or 'Innova' year.
It's not an Innova disc. Innova discs have tooling on the backside of the flight plate. No tooling there, it's not Innova.
But that would be a DGA brand. I think now we need to concentrate on 'Discraft'. Even the 'Hurricane' mentioned earlier was DGA. It looked a little close-ish. According to the other poster, Three-Putt, it was Discraft who made discs without 'tooling'. And according to 'Terry-D' on his Facebook, it had to be either Innova or Discraft making these molds.
The reason DGA was mentioned is that Discraft makes DGA's discs. A disc made by Discraft with no tooling could have been a Discraft mold or a DGA mold; they all get made in the same place on the same machines by the same people.
